VACCINE FOR REESE ARABELLA

Last Wednesday, Me, my wife and Ara went to the pediatrician for another scheduled vaccination of Reese Arabella. The scheduled vaccination is just a booster shots for her Hib, Polio, HPV taken vaccines. This is very important so that her vaccines will be complete. We, as parents, want that our daughter will be safe and sound from this health problems.

Vaccination is quite expensive because just a single shot of the vaccine cost us 2,800 pesos. Before we used to visit the doctor for Ara's monthly vaccination schedule. This time, since she is already one year old, we need to visit the doctor for some booster shots every 3 months.

Our schedule for another booster shot will be on May. Every time we visit the doctor, we have to prepare at least 3,000 pesos for the vaccine. But even though the cost is quite expensive, we still make it sure that Ara has her vaccines so that she will be healthy and safe.

ITS A NEW YEAR TODAY

Today is a special day for the Chinese. It is because today is the new years day for them. Here in General Santos City is a holiday and I am still here. I hope I will be able to fisnish my field work by tomorrow so that I can get home early.

The Chinese new year is said to be a agood day to start something new in your life. Well, I guess this is really a nice day to start a new business with my wife. This is our plan for this year. We have already communicated with our suppliers and we hope that this year of the water dragon will bring good luck to us.

Yesterday, I bought a waller for my wife and a stuff toy for my daughter, Reese Arabella. I hope she will like this. This is a surprise for her this Chinese new year. I want to surprise her when I get home because every time I arrive, she will greet me in the entrance of our house. I want to give her this stuff toy when I arrive home. My wife told me that I must wrap it to make it a surprise for her. She will be the one to open the gift by destroying the wrapper. I guess I won't do that suggestion because we need to conserve things and not just destroy it. It's still money, you know. To all, Happy New year...Kung Hei Fat Choi!

RAINY SUNDAY, LOTS OF THINGS TO DO

Its a rainy Sunday here in General Santos City, the home of Manny Pacquiao. I am still doing my field work and I just can't move fast because of the rain. I think this will be a long gloomy day here in General Santos City. Too bad, I haven't brought any jacket that will give me warm since it is a cold day today.

Since it's raining outside, I plan to go to the mall and check out some things. My wife wants a wallet that I would give her when I get back home. It is said that she will have a good luck this year when she receives a wallet this Chinese New Year this morning. I will be checking out the mall for that lucky wallet for my wife.

I have to finish my field work by Tuesday so that I can get home. Monday is a holiday so, I have no transactions on Monday. This is really the sad part when I am on my field work. I cannot do anything when it is a holiday.

FATHER TEACHER, DAUGHTER STUDENT

Last week was a great week for me. I was able to bond with my little daughter Reese Arabella Rojas. She is already 1 year and 6 months old and full of surprises. Aside from being a father to my daughter, I also did the role of being the teacher to her. As they say that the parents are the first teachers and that is what I did to my daughter.

For last week, I taught her different kinds of shapes. From square to star and I was pretty surprise that my little daughter was able to identify the shapes by pointing to it if I ask her what shape was it. She is learning very fast and rapidly increasing her stock knowledge. I told my wife that it is very important for our daughter to learn in this stage. I added that encourage to open a book for her and read stories because Reese Arabella like to look at the pages and even listen to the stories. Her interest in books is worth mentioning because every time I would open a book to her, she will immediately sit on my lap and start turning the pages. It is quite amazing for a baby to have this kind of interest and I am just happy that she likes sit and read books...soon.

I am planning to buy this chart of numbers so that I can teach her the basic numbers from 1 to 10. And even the alphabet letters. I realized that one week is not enough of being a father and teacher to y daughter. I want her to learn new things and discover new bright ideas. My daughter also likes filing things on stocks. I really can't wait to teach her again when I get back home.
